Former President Donald Trump has retracted his nomination of Representative Elise Stefanik to serve as the U.N. Ambassador. Trump stated the narrow Republican majority in the House as a primary reason for the withdrawal, suggesting Stefanik's presence was needed in Congress.

This latest development adds another layer of complexity to U.S.-Danish relations and raises questions about future diplomatic strategies under a potential Trump administration.
